As the Oscars event closes down, with awards handed and the talented are celebrated, the night doesn’t end there. The after parties are just getting started, whether it's Vanity Fair, hosted this year by chief Radhika Jones, or the highly sought-after Oscars afterparty, also known as the ‘Gold Party,’held by rap artist and entrepreneur Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce. The party has been known for its tightly held guest list and low-key presence, with no red carpet arrivals or photographers. This iconic bash was attended by Saweetie, Rihanna, Snoop Dog, Kim Kardashion, Zoe Krativz, and DJ Khaled. It didn't matter which party you attended, guests let their hair down and took off their gloves, and enjoyed the rest of the night.
As if we couldn’t get enough of the glamour, our favorite celebrities came back for a second time in the same night and showed off gowns and dresses galore, made by luxury and renowned designers. Rihanna chose a black organza turtleneck gown with an oversized bow at the back, made by Valentino. Beyonce upped the glam factor with rows of dripping diamond paired with a Valentino Haute Couture gown and matching cape in bold neon yellow, and finishing it off with a Judith Leiber clutch shaped like a tennis ball. Zoe Krativz channels her true style in a white Saint Laurent gown with a nigh neck and a plunging back, while Kim Kardashion goes bold in a show-stopping blue Balenciaga gown.
